Savour The smell of charcoal—summer’s quintessence—lengthens the hour before supper, suspending the grasp of clock’s hands. Tossed with hollyhocks it underscores wren and towhee recalls a hammockside sip of smoky lapsang souchong dreams sun’s heat from sky, inscribes stone lintel under marriage’s thatched roof. It is the day’s enough. Nancy K. Jentsch Nancy K.
